[lxc-users] LXD - Production Hardware Guide

[Steven Spencer]

Andrey and List,

Thanks so much for your response, and we understand all of that. We know
that if we have 3 containers the server configuration is going to be
different than if we have 30 or 100, and that we will have to size RAM,
Processors, etc, accordingly. What I think we are more interested in is: If
we use ZFS, is there a recommended way to use it? Should we use RAID of any
kind? If so, should it be hardware or software RAID? We realize, too, that
we will need to size our drives according to how much space we will
actually need for the number of containers we will be running. Really it's
just about the underlying file system for the containers. It seems like
there should be a basic white paper or something with just guidelines on
best practices for LXD. That would really help us. We have found the LXD
documentation and we have actually used these docs. We've even used ZFS
under LXD on our first iteration of this project about 3 years ago. We are
now looking to do this again. The first time was mostly a success. Recenly,
we had the main LXD server die and for no apparent reason (hardware /
software / memory - the logs don't really give us much). Our snapshot
server was the savior, but now we need to repeat our earlier process, and
if we made mistakes, we would like to fix them in the process.

Thanks again for the response, any further information would be helpful.

Steven G. Spencer
